Hi,

I'm not strong in MT4 coding but I think you have to use this:

Open[Bars-1] => Previous open bar value.
Close[Bars-1] => Previous close bar value.
High[Bars-1] => Previous high bar value.
Low[Bars-1] => Previous low bar value.

bye bye

You can define some variables:

Code:

double PreviousClose=iClose(Symbol(),NULL,1);
double CurrentClose=iClose(Symbol(),NULL,0);

double PreviousOpen=iOpen(Symbol(),NULL,1);
double CurrentOpen=iOpen(Symbol(),NULL,0);

double PreviousHigh=iHigh(Symbol(),NULL,1);
double CurrentHigh=iHigh(Symbol(),NULL,0);

double PreviousLow=iLow(Symbol(),NULL,1);
double CurrentLow=iLow(Symbol(),NULL,0);

I hope this helps.
Bye.

It is Ask and Bid... babarmughal look: there is that saying - RTFM that is the short form of Read The Fucking Manual...

Before you ask a question try to find some info in MT4 help files ... it will help you much more and you will find some extra info.
Best Regards

You can use Ask[] or Bid[], but I preffer using the current close.

double CurrentClose=iClose(Symbol(),NULL,0);

This is the current price, because the bar is not closed, and the CurrentClose is moving. So, let's say that you want the expert to act if the current price is higher than the previous close and the current open is higher than the previous open... you have to code it like this:

Code:

if  ((CurrentClose>PreviousClose) && (CurrentOpen>PreviousOpen)) {......}

Bye.
